SCORPIO
Mythology of Scorpio
In the zodiac Scorpio refers to the purifying fire, the one that clears away the dross of the past and concentrates the essence, but also the one that confronts the anguish of death, of the end of things.
Hades is the god of the underworlds and subterranean worlds, he represents everything that is outside the conscious field, that which is invisible, impalpable, but is often found at the deep, complex and hidden roots of things.

Scorpio Psychology in everyday life and at work
Scorpio symbolizes the rise of autumn : the Night-Force becomes stronger, plants slow down, and the forces of life withdraw.
Secretive, full of transformational energy and eroticism, mysterious, taciturn, and enigmatic, they are agents of renewal in the zodiac cycle (death and rebirth).
Scorpios are dynamic, very persistent, very tough, resilient, often abrasive, argumentative, and sometimes even belligerent.
Their astrological rulership was for a long time assigned to Mars, like Aries (before the discovery of Pluto). They share many Martian traits : vitality, enthusiasm, impulsiveness, combativeness, audacity, aggressiveness…
Not easily influenced and merciless, Scorpios have an undeniably strong personality that allows them to fight to establish themselves in society and protect their assets (give these excellent books a read : Pluto: The Evolutionary Journey of the Soul and Pluto: The Soul’s Evolution Through Relationshipsby Jeff Green).
Excessive and not apt to compromise, Scorpio do not hesitate to show their true colors even if it means making many enemies. With an outwardly cold and impenetrable personality, they fight to neutralize all of those who oppose them.
Supporters of the scorched earth policy, they see intentional or unintentional destruction as an inevitable process of reconstruction, transformation, and evolution.
In the zodiac cycle, it is at the stage of Scorpio that spiritual awareness emerges from the individual unconscious and that a feeling of complete unity appears.
Indeed, Scorpios are also sensitive people with an unequaled level of depth to their feelings.
Interested in psychology and the inscrutable mysteries of the human soul, they enjoy puzzles, riddles that need solving, investigations, and people with complex personalities.
With their friends, Scorpios like to throw around gibes (“acid pikes”) just to see how others will react; wielding irony with very little tact, they often put their foot in their mouth.
Scorpio in love : are you compatible ?
Scorpio is the most erotic sign : it is the sign of sexuality itself. We are talking about pure libido, sexual urges, fantasies, primal sexual instincts, and sex for the purpose of sex.
Unlike Taurus, who is all about sensuality and reproduction, Scorpio is focused only on eroticism, pleasure, and entertainment, without a focus on procreation.
But Scorpios are not interested purely in lust : for them, sex is firstly, and most importantly, about a union with another person, a means of communion, of fusion, in order to understand themselves just as much as to better understand others and the outside world (Tantra is the ultimate philosophy of Scorpio).
Passionate, intense, and charismatic, they like to experience love intensely both physically and through deep feelings.
For Scorpios, love has to start with instinctive physical attraction, but this love transforms over the course of a series of crises into something more “complete” and foundational.
Very jealous and possessive, they do not tolerate anyone who scorns or looks down upon the sincerity of their feelings. They need their partner to remain interested exclusively in them and their partner has to be careful not to betray them in any way.
Scorpios always have a secretive and mysterious side, never completely revealing themselves, even in games of seduction, in which they prefer to surprise their partner with their directness and elusiveness.
Their partner will have to get used to their brusqueness and their libido, and most importantly keep in mind that a true Scorpio opens up and shows their worth in moments of crisis.
How to seduce Scorpio : resist them ! play the game of cat and mouse, activate the exacerbation of feelings, provoke extremes, passion, anger, reconciliation on the pillow.
What repels Scorpio : too much ease and simplicity, if they can read you like an open book from the beginning of the couple boredom is waiting for them ! Beware of infidelities, they are not the kind to forgive that easily…
